This is not the answer to your copy/paste problem, but this is the way I add an address to the body of a message. This might be easier than searching for the email. I enter the name of the person in an address fields then drag the entry into the body of the message. Just be sure to delete it afterwards. :-) > > Scenario #2: When replying to HTML mail, I write my first line of response, > format it to my preferences (Times 12 nonbold), and then copy the first > character in the line.

If yes, then open any complex HTML message then try your copy/paste. Let me know what you find. -- Diane Ross Mac MVP Entourage Help Page <http://www.entourage.mvps.org/> -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
